Hey, last night I went to sleep normally and didn't do WBTB since it's weekdays and need sleep. But I just layed still and stayed awake to test it out anyway. I wasn't expecting a WILD.

So I was laying there and my arms in particular started feeling very heavy and numb. I couldn't feel my pinky at all? So I didn't get any visual hallucinations but I did hear 2 to 3 sounds over a what felt like a 5 minute gap inbetween. I was laying there for ages.

So I heard some bang that felt close to me, possibly some bubbling and some scurrying (not sure) lol

The other two things were me suddenly jerking with no control over it jerking my legs up. I also felt like I was lifting up in general.

Was this actual sleep paralysis? It didn't get any further than that such as visual ones or feeling other stuff or having a dream scene fill my vision. I sort of noticed my eyes opening a little bit and thought that it might be my dream coming into vision but I did reality checks and it was not a dream .

I can try WBTB on the weekend and once I do my polyphasic sleep schedule I just have 3 naps a day. What do you all think?

Note: Also, simply thinking about dreaming I remembered two dreams although what I remembered weren't very long. I plan on doing the Sporadic Awareness Technique with DILD and possibly MILD but mantras and such are awkward to me. See how WILD goes.
